Description

  With each new phase of life, our relationship with identity can shift, or become a never-ending, run-on sentence. When I made this painting in 2022, I had just moved to Barcelona for art school. I wanted to express the discomfort I felt around supposed boundaries: the ones that define who I was, who I am, and who I wanted to be.
